12 SIKHS

BECOME VICTIMS OF TERROR IN

PAKISTAN

A news release in a Pakistani newspaper has

revealed the ongoing terror faced Sikhs in the

tribal areas of Pakistan.

PESHAWAR: Sardar Gopal Singh, a representative

from the Sikh community, said around a dozen

Sikhs have fallen victim to acts of terror over the

past few months. He was speaking at a meeting

arranged by South Asia Partnership Pakistan in

the city on Thursday.

Many have been forced to shut their businesses

down and leave areas that they have inhabited for

decades, he said. According to Gopal, a majority

of his community members find it difficult to

spiral out of the cycle of poverty and state

policies are hardly helpful.

Law and Parliamentary Affairs Additional

Secretary Israr Mohammad Khan represented the

Minister for Law Imtiaz Shahid Qureshi at the

moot. Speaking on the occasion, Israr said the

government has adopted two bills that will

directly address some of the fundamental

problems faced by minorities in the province. He

added the law department, with help from other

departments, is already working on the

implementation of these bills.

Several minority representatives were invited to

talk about the problems faced by their

communities. During his address, Christian

representative Augustin Jacob said most

Christians in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa find it hard to

break through the glass ceiling when it comes to

jobs at government and semi-government

departments. He said almost everyone agrees

over the removal of hate material from textbooks,

which is taught to children from an early age.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
